As to the lower flip-top cap 2 and the upper flip-top cap 1, the end parts of one side of the respective opposite peripheral surface are connected with each other by a film 7; the upper part 1 of the flip-top cap has a protuberance 9 fastened and fixed with a convex part 8 of the upper side edge of the groove 5 of the tube neck 3 in the under cut manner; the inner side of the upper part 1 of the flip-top cap has a ring-shaped double protuberance in the shape of Chinese character of “ao” 10; when the upper part 1 of the flip-top cap is closed, the ring-shaped double protuberance in the shape of Chinese character of “ao” 10 is meshed with the discharge outlet 6 to be capable of sealing the inner and outer sides of the discharge outlet 6 at the same time.

In the second embodiment of the invention, according to the first embodiment, the ring flip-top tube container is characterized in that: The ring flip-top tube container is in the arc shape, so that two sides of the tube body 4 are recessed toward the inner side of the tube.

In the third embodiment of the invention, according to the first embodiment, the ring flip-top tube container is characterized in that: Tamper occurs between the outer peripheral surface of the upper part of the tube neck 3 and that of the lower part of the discharge outlet 6, so that the outer peripheral surface of the lower part of the discharge outlet 6 is higher than that of the upper part of the tube neck 3.

The Effects of the Invention

According to the invention, compared to the flip-top tube container in the prior art, the ring flip-top tube container reduces the number of the parts, simplifies assembly process, and saves and reduces raw materials and energy, thus not only being environmentally friendly but also conductive to increase production efficiency and reduce production cost. In addition, this ring flip-top tube container in the invention is capable of reducing the height of the cap and hence an elegant design is executed.
